When The Going Gets Tough

Sometimes life is such a struggle you begin to wonder if there really is anything to be thankful for.
You suddenly forget all the blessings God has so beautified your  human existence with and you let despair hang round your neck and pull you down (At this point some people commit suicide).

But no, not you!

See, you're Nigerian.
And being Nigerian is being able to move on regardless.
Being able to find some humour in that dark place.
Being able to hold your peace when that taxi driver calls N500.00 from Area 1 to Area 3.
Being able to trek that distance and call it weight loss strategy.
Being able to handle poor customer service and not sue.
Being able to sleep inspite of the N20 Billion Naira target your manager just gave you knowing you're not an armed robber.
Being able to carry on with your life inspite of all the deaths in your country hoping Government would deal with it.
Being able to eat despite knowing Government can't, won't, is unable to deal with it.
Being able to go shopping knowing your Government spends more time in prayer than actually providing solutions.
Being able to sleep with your generator on and endure all the racket that comes with it.
Being able to sleep without the generator on (You dey save fuel), feel your sweat flood your sheets and still wake up optimistic about dawn.
Being able to...(Fill the blanks)

Being able to get down on your knees, deep in all your troubles and thank God that you don't look like a fish (See picture below)

God bless you fellow Nigerian.
May we find the strength someday to rise up and say NO! Enough is Enough!
Until then, make tomorrow count for someone!

Selah.
